Greetings from Colorado,



 



 



Speaking of seats I just returned from a
3,400 mile trip through the western states in my 87 560 SEC with 290,000
miles.  



 



I met Shin in LA and reviewed several of
his cars, great collection!!  Also Shin gave me a thrill ride in his 56 W
198 Gull Wing. Amazing!!! 



 



My mileage was 19 MPG at over the speed
limit and used 2 quarts of oil.  Not bad results, however my ass is just
recovering.  



 



It seems that the miles have taken its
toll on the seat support and the leather.



 



What is the best source for new seat
covers front and rear? 



 



Thanks,



Mike Beyersdoerfer

More patience actually.  I've done this to SEC seats already and
started on an SEL.

I will be doing the same soon, as even the early gen2 seats aren't the same
as the later ones.  Anyhow, ifyou remove the 6 screws holding the
"base" to the seats, you can just swap that over.  4 of the
screws are easy/obvious to see, one at each corner.  However, the final 2
are in the middle and you have to get the seat track lined up just so to access
them.









 









Best of luck,



Markus Meyer

Hi Everybody again!

 

Ok - here's my next challenge and question!

 

I'm in the process of changing my interior from the early style to late style -
which also has the orthopaedic option. 

I've changed the vacuum pump, plumbed in all the air lines to the front seats,
and i''ve fitted the drivers seat which is fully operational - Hurrah!!

 

Now comes the next challenge!!

 

For some reason the replacement passenger seat is a non-memory seat, unlike my
current seat - hence the multi-plug is very different

 

I presently have both seats upside down sitting on the kitchen table (much
to my wife's bemusement!!) ready to operate. The way i'm looking at it is that
i have to change the bases over including the motors from the back rest &
head rest as well.

 

My question/s is this....

 




 
What is my best option to get the replacement
     seat with the memory seat opton fitted? - is it best to remove the
     whole lower base - or transfer the electrics over instead?  

 
If the best option is to remove the lower base of
     the seat - which is the best way to do it?





 

 

Thanks

 

Jon
